JAMES T. GARLEY, OF GREENPORT, NEW YORK.

EGG-BEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 354,684, dated Decemberzl, 1886.

Application filed April 16, 1886. Serial No. 199,055. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JAMES T. OAKLEY, of Greenport, in the county of Suffolk and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in- Egg-Beaters; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon,'mal ing a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is an elevation of my improved eggbeater; Fig. 2, a transverse section on line 0050 of Fig. 1, and'Fig. 3 a view in perspective of the pinion carrying the beater-arms.

My invention relates to that class of eggbeaters in which looped wires are made to revolve about a common axis by theaction of a crank-wheel gearing into a pinion carrying said arms, the crank-wheel and pinion being mounted on a rod of stout wire extending beyond the ends of the looped wires and serving as a support for the device.

. It has for its object to simplify and reduce the cost of manufacturing the device without diminishing its efficiency.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the central longitudinal rod constituting the standard'or support for the beater and the pivotal axis about which its beatingrarms revolve. This central axial rod or standard is made of stout wire, and is bent at its lower end to form a loop, A, which willserve in the customary manner as a base for the device and a guard for the beaters. The opposite end of the rod of wire A is doubled and then twisted 'upon itself to form a stout stem, A terminating in an open loop or handle, A.

B is a solid block of an elongated form, sub stantially as illustratedin Fig. 1 and in the section Fig. 2, against one face of which the crankwheel 0 is made to rotate upon a stud-pin, D,

projecting therefrom. The two edges of the block B are grooved, as shown in the section, Fig. 2.

Below the twisted stem or portion A the main arm of the wire is carried from a central point at its upper end along one edge of block B in the groove therein, while the remaining end, E, of the wire is carried around the opposite edge of the block in the groove therein, and then bent under the end'of the block and looped around the main arm, so as to thereby firmly hold and clamp the block and produce in a very simple manner an intimate andse cure attachment of the supporting-rod and handle to the block carrying the crank-wheel.

The periphery of the orank-wheel G is toothed to gear into a small pinion, F,mounted to rotate freely upon the central rod, A, as its axis, immediately beneath the end of the block B and the loop at the end B of the wire. The pinion F is formed with two loops, G G, pro; jecting therefrom parallel with its axis at diametrically-opposite points, and these lugs are transversely or radially perforated to receive the upper ends of the wire H, constituting the beater'arms. These arms are formed of a single wire or ribbon, H, either round or fiat in transverse section. One end of this wireis hooked into the aperture in one of the lugs G of the pinion F, and carried thence to the lower end of the central rod or support, A, where it is coiled to form a complete circle of suitable diameter, then looped around the rod, then coiled into a second circle similar to the 7 5 first, and carried thence to the lug G on the opposite side of the pinion F, through which it is hooked, all as clearly illustrated in Fig. l. The beater-arms serve to keep the pinion F up into gear with the toothed crank-Wheel C. 83 The entire device is thus constructed and its parts firmly secured in operative positions without the use of solder, and the apparatus constitutes in simple, neat, compact form a revolving egg-beater of the most approved de- 85 scription for effective use.

I claim as my inventionc 1. The combination of the block B and crank-wheel O with the supporting-rod A, twisted to form a handle and bent to inclose 0 and firmly clamp the block, substantiallyin the manner and for the purpose herein set forth.

2. The combination, with the supporting rod A, crank-wheel O", pinion F, and lugs G G,

G G with the pinion F and the ends of the projecting from said pinion, of the single 5 A beating-wire H, substantially in the manner stantially in the manner and for the purpose [0 and for the purpose herein set forth. herein set forth.
